Heads-Up Displays for Motorcyclists

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the street-hawk-returns dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An NYT article describes a new invention by a former racing driver to incorporate displays in the visors of helmets used by motorcyclists. A GPS receiver in the helmet is used to calculate position and speed of the wearer, and presumably in displaying route guidance. I'll bet some horrifying data could be gathered on the speed with which riders' heads impact the pavement after an accident."

    Look, you gutless bitch - if you don't want to ride a bike, fine. Don't criticize me because I choose to ride one. Its a free country, if you choose to spend your life in front of your computer masterbating then good on you.

    Too bad he reproduced first. The Darwinian Accelerator failed there.

    I don't like bikers. I purposely fuck with them when I'm out on the road. My favorite is to make a left turn right in front of them as they approach. The look of fear on their little faces is soooo precious!
